Question

What is the fifth term of the sequence whose first term is 10 and whose common ratio is 1/2?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Common ratio of half means that to get each successive terms, you have to multiply the preceding term by half.

Since first term is 10

2nd term is $10*\frac{1}{2}=5$

3rd term is $5*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$

4th term is $\frac{5}{2}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4}$

5th term is $\frac{5}{4}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{8}$

Answer choice D is right.

The fifth term of the sequence whose first term is 10 and whose common ratio is ½ is 5/8. The correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice or letter D.
